Memories of a Revolution

By | 1 November 2019

1. Bandung Conference

1955

the non-aligned emerging nations

a roar of post neo-colonialism

a communiqué flourished in optimism

Sukarno the conductor striking up an orchestra


now enter

a museum of flags

2. Borobudur

1959

Sukarno hosting Che Guevara

Che a ritual circumambulation

quiet devotion in the shaded terraces

the outlook to Merapi


INFINITY

3. Jakarta

1995

dipping water from bucket to cup

watering the plants dotting the balcony

at the stone railing

staring into

a wall of lush ferns

thinking of Sukarno

gazing over to the

neighbourhood kids

springing about flying kites
